## About this market
Much of the commerce work documented here is thinner than the transformation label suggests. Datatonic's cineSearch for Cineverse reports a 90 percent reduction in content search times and a 15 percent reduction in churn; its platform-scale evidence, Vodafone's AI Booster, is telecom rather than retail. Kruso's depth is commerce platform delivery: a replacement member platform for Forbrugsforeningen, Denmark's largest loyalty association (247,500 members), and a scan-and-go app for Inco Cash & Carry's 37,000 products in a partnership since 2019 that is tagged AI but describes no AI component. Its AI is integrated rather than built: IKEA's solar-panel chatbot runs on Microsoft Bot Framework, sizing a setup from address, roof orientation and consumption via the Google Maps API. Inspari's Uhrenholt dashboard models cross-sell probability and comparable-market pricing in Power BI, with a test group holding access when the case was written. Pricing is where the retail evidence is firmest: Amsterdam Data Collective's Hunkemöller engagement is a pricing transformation delivering markdown outcomes with AI, and its markdown optimization for an unnamed apparel retailer reports 5 to 10 percent revenue growth in three months.

Sort on where the model sits relative to the storefront. Kruso builds and operates the commerce platform and fits vendor AI into it; Inspari builds on the Microsoft or Snowflake data platform behind the storefront; Datatonic builds the ML delivery platform on Google Cloud or AWS. A retailer with an in-house data team should ask the latter kind what the next model costs to add; a retailer that wants one firm to own the storefront should ask Kruso what it built versus integrated, and for the conversion or deflection figures the IKEA write-up does not publish. Most of the commerce work here is project-shaped rather than program-shaped, so ask what would make yours a program.

### How is the AI transformation model verified?

We never infer the model from portfolio tone, so this list only contains agencies that operate AI transformation engagements deliberately.
